Little snitch is closer to GlassWire for Windows [1] then OpenSnitch.

Let's not start calling every application firewall a clone.

We're not. We're calling this specific project, which explicitly describes itself in its header as "a GNU/Linux port [sic] of the Little Snitch application firewall" a clone, because that is its stated aspiration. That it hasn't yet copied all of Little Snitch's features after 17 days of existence doesn't countervail that.
- sasas 9y ago> a clone, because that is its stated aspiration. Thanks for the clarification. In that context then calling it a clone makes perfect sense. All the best to the project. LittleSnitch is great and to have a full clone on Linux would be fantastic!
